Instead of simply driving the illegals to an airport and flying them back to their country, which would cost for one-half of 1 percent of the $3.8 billion Obama wants – Obama wants to house the illegals at a cost of $250 per day per person.
Makes one think he doesn’t want to send them home, doesn’t it?
Most of his proposal is to pay living expenses. At the unofficial reported cost of $250 per person per day, President Barack Obama is proposing we spend $1.8 billion “to provide appropriate care for unaccompanied children.” That works out to 19,726 minors for a year. (The official term for them, written into federal statute, is “undocumented alien children.” Not undocumented immigrants, migrants or refugees. Those other terms are efforts at propaganda.)
In addition, Obama wants another $879 million “for detention and removal of apprehended undocumented adults traveling with children,” and “alternatives to detention programs” for these adults. He blends “removal” with “detention” to make it impossible to determine how many removals are planned.
If the money is all for detention, then the $250 per person reveals the plan is to house 9,632 adults for a year at taxpayers’ expense.
Combine 19,726 minors with 9,632 adults and you have 29,358 people. But it gets worse. The request is for a “supplemental appropriation.” In budget lingo, that typically means it’s for the current fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. If these funds don’t cover a full year, either the cost per person is much higher or the number of people is much higher.
If the daily cost per person is less than $250, then the small city of illegal aliens we’re supporting will be larger than 29,358.
Although Obama asks for lots of money to take care of people permanently, he gives zero details about a timeframe for deporting or repatriating any of the persons involved.
The $250 a day figure compares with the $667 one-way cost of an airline ticket from McAllen, Texas, to Guatemala City, Guatemala, according to both Orbitz and Priceline. The combined airfare for 29,358 passengers would be $19.6 million. That is one-half of 1 percent of President Obama’s overall $3.8 billion request. Volume discounts and government rates would yield even lower fares. But even without discounts, sending everyone home right away saves taxpayers 99.5 percent!

Obama is a $#%&!@*ing idiot but. Come on America get rid of him.
you can house the whole homeless population for half that
Throwing them back across the border would be even cheaper than that.
Obama only see’s them as a vote…
He is playing the immigrants like he played Afreican Americans for a vote… come get cho Obama Phone…
Anything B.O. touches has inflated costs. He has no concept of money or its value.
It’s all going according to his evil plan to wreck our country.
It’s just way too weird as to have 90,000 kids all of a sudden come into the US. This also allows Jihaadists and Islamic terrorists to gain entrance. Why aren’t the Latin America countries taking care of their own ? What kind of parents would let their little ones travel so far in dangerous situations unless this gov. has offered them refuge as well starting with their children. It’s so sad that these children have to leave their own country because their own governments are backwards and their societies, violent. It need not be this way! It’s enough seeing and hearing about wars all over the world, old and new; dysfunctional humankind not caring for or protecting their own people. We need more love in this world.
Send them all back and throw Obama in there too.
Simple, just don’t get him that money, ours, and let him take care of it with his own money because he caused this to happen. it would teach him a good lesson.
